Fresh from their First Prize and Commission Prize wins at the 2025 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the Poiesis Quartet has quickly established themselves as one of the most compelling young ensembles on the international stage. In 2023, they were named the Grand Prize, Gold Medal, and Lift Every Voice prize winners of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, as well as Gold Medal and BIPOC Prize at the 2023 St. Paul String Quartet Competition. In May 2024, Poiesis joined the Concert Artists Guild roster for North American management as winners of the Louis and Susan Meisel Competition.

Derived from ancient Greek (ποιεῖν), the word Poiesis means “to make”; specifically, to create something that has never existed before. With a focus on expanding the string quartet repertoire with vibrant new works by emerging composers, the Poiesis Quartet infuses each performance with unique moments of synchronicity and verve.

Join us for an evening of chamber music as the Poiesis Quartet brings their award-winning artistry to the Metropolitan United Church, sharing music that blends tradition, innovation, and extraordinary musical insight.
